Disclaimer: Dragon Knights is not mine. It's Mineko Ohkami's. Nuff said.
Hey! What's up everyone? Sorry I haven't updated in so long. No I did not decide to get fat by lying on my couch and eating dustbunnies. I decided to work myself so far into the ground and stress myself out over school and GPAs and scholarships and that krap to the point where my parents sent me to a counselor. But I'm better now! I think summer break has cured me and not my counselor who I think needs counseling. Anyways, I'm back to my normal crazed-in-a-good-way self. I prefer it this way. ON WITH THE STORY!
Mir giggled as the theater's lead tech director and her sister's associate muttered a truly diabolical plan in her ear.
"What's going on with you two?" asked Kai-Stern and Nanners turned to him and whispered the plan in his ear, "Ah! I see!"
"I want no part of this," grumbled Alfeegi stalking away to go look for Miss Chibi who might be able to force his boss to do something about the slightly imperfect curtain.
"Do it and I'll fix the curtain," said Nanners. Alfeegi paused. Was she serious? Would she really help him with the curtain? Would something in this theater finally be perfectly aligned? But then again, the things Nanners and the others got themselves into were usually so dangerous and full of insanity that he was lucky if he came out unburnt, unpunctured, un-anything! He glanced at the curtain. That end that was two inches too short seemed to wave at him dauntingly. AGH! HE COULDN'T STAND IT! IT WAS CHALLENGING HIM! HE WOULD DESTROY IT AND MAKE IT DO WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO!
"I'll do it," he consented grudgingly.
"Excellent," said Mir smiling widely.
"Put your back into it Thatz!" demanded Kitchel as she and her fellow techie tried to drag a particular heavy old-fashioned desk onto the set.
"I don't see why we have to use something 'authentic'," muttered Thatz.
"Cause we could find it at a flea market," Lim Kaana informed him from where she was mending Nohiro's torn costume in a front row seat. The safety hazard actor had managed to fall off one of the platforms on stage to the stage which he rolled off of and then managed to bump something on every step down.
"A penny saved is a penny earned!" quoted Kitchel, "Didn't some bald guy say that?"
"Probably," responded Lim with a shrug. "Do you know Flames?" she asked turning to the actress who was sitting next to her and reading her script.
"Benjamin Franklin," she said, "Though I can't remember if it was before or after he was struck by lightning."
Nanners waltzed onto the stage. She turned to Thatz, "Why are you dragging that old desk out here? We don't need it for this play."
"WHAT?" asked Thatz before he slumped over the desk and tried not to cry, "KITCHEL YOU BACKSTABBER! WHY? THIS IS TOO CRUEL EVEN FOR SOMEONE AS HEARTLESS AS YOU!"
"I just love watching you suffer," she responded cheerily. His insults just rolled off her back. There were almost no insults Thatz could spout at her that would actually hurt or make her reform her wicked ways.
"You should have dragged it out here," muttered Thatz, "Maybe then you wouldn't be so fat."
All noise stopped in the theater. Flames would later swear that the birds outside quit chirping.
"Oh no he didn't!" exclaimed both Lim and Flames sounding very ghetto.
"He's a man. What could you possibly expect?" said Nanners with a sad sigh.
"THATZ!" screamed Kitchel her eyes glowing with the desire to strangle, murder, mutilate, and castrate Thatz.
"Uh-oh..." he murmured, frozen to the spot with sheer terror. Flames would later claim that it looked like he was going to wet himself. Just as Kitchel was about to pounce and begin the mutilating and murdering Nanners grabbed her by the back of the shirt.
"Wait," she commanded as Kitchel fought her grip tooth and nail. Only years of practice at restraining Teeny and Chaos allowed Nanners to maintain her hold on the furious female, "You can kill him after we torture Rath and Cesia."
"Huh?" asked Lim Kaana and Flames.
"What do you mean 'after'!" demanded Thatz.
"Rath and Cesia? What could they possibly be up to?" asked Flames, "They're both kinda dense in the love department."
"I DON'T CARE!" screamed Kitchel, "LET ME KILL HIM NOW! HOW COULD HE POSSIBLY DARE TO SAY THAT I'M FAT WITH MY PERFECT CURVES AND VOLUPTUOUS CHEST! DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY YEARS I WENT WITHOUT FOOD TO GET THIS PETITE WAISTLINE!"
"I always admired your modesty," said Nanners dryly.
"Boss," Lim Kaana broke in before Kitchel could begin screaming about her un-flabby abs, "What were you going to say about Rath and Cesia? Is it more entertaining than watching Thatz's demise at the hands of a woman scorned?"
"Wow...big words..." drooled Thatz.
Meanwhile Nanners face lit with that dangerously dreamy, wicked grin that meant someone's psyche was going to be messed with and perhaps permanently damaged, "Oh yes...I believe it will..."
-
"WHAT?" screamed Miss Chibi as Alfeegi informed her of the current situation with her prize actor Cesia and Rath and the mischievous plan of her sister and Nanners.
"I'm afraid so," said Alfeegi nodding sadly.
"But my actors can't have love lives! It distracts them!" said Chibi as she began pacing, "Do you know what happened when Nohiro's girlfriend Silk broke up with him? He wouldn't stop crying for two months! He sobbed his lines all through The Sound of Music! And he was playing a Nazi!"
"Miss Chibi," protested Alfeegi, "We must go along with their diabolical plan! Think of the curtain! It's two inches shorter on one side! And Kai-Stern won't fix it unless we go along with this plan!"
Several thoughts whirled through Miss Chibi's mind at that moment. She thought of the disaster if their audience were to come in and notice that they were so sloppy as to not make sure their curtains were level. She remembered Nohiro's wails of despair punctuating Rolf's 'sixteen going on seventeen...' scene with Liesel and later during intermission when the SS did the can-can (as a showstopper act of course). She wondered if they used lemon-scented furniture polish in the office or orange-scented. And she thought of the bad press Mir might give the play if she didn't go along with her hare-brained schemes.
She sighed and nodded solemnly at Alfeegi, "I'll do it. For the curtain."
"For the curtain," Alfeegi replied, dramatic tears glistening at the corners of his eyes.
-
Meanwhile Kai-Stern was walking up the stairs at the back of the theater into the catwalks high above the audience's seats.
"Yoo-hoo!" he called as he reached the top, "Anyone in here?"
"Oh krap!"
"It's him!"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes!"
"Hide the booze!"
"Hide the child!"
Kai-Stern grinned to himself. The other inhabitants of the catwalks obviously thought they were being sneaky. He lived for moments like these. Oh all right, he lived for happy hour at the bar down the street but this was pretty good too.
"Hey guys!" he said as he came upon Chaos, Fedelta, and Gil sitting in a semicircle.
Chaos waved her feet propped on a very lumpy footrest covered by a very musty blanket. He plopped down across from Gil and in between Fedelta and Chaos completing the circle.
"Hi Zoma," he greeted the footrest and going out on a limb he added, "Hi Fiji."
"Awww..." whined Chaos sounding very much like a child who had been caught stealing cookies or setting fire to lawn furniture. He was pretty sure she had done both in her youth. You know when she was 2 or 3.
"Yes!" cried Zoma throwing off the blanket and Chaos's legs and breathing the fresh air in deeply. Fiji poked her blonde head out from behind Gil's back and waved shyly. Kai-Stern returned the wave before saying, "So, where's the booze?"
Chaos whined again as Fedelta scowled and grudgingly retrieved the hidden beer. Gil didn't seem to care at all.
"That's better," said Kai-Stern after taking a swig, "I have a message from Nanners."
"What is it?" asked Fedelta boredly, "Does she need more lights hung?"
"Does she want us to drop one on Nadil's head again?" asked Chaos hopefully.
"No," said Kai-Stern and everyone, including the children who had grown to hate Nadil as well, looked downcast. "But," he continued, "we do get to torture Rath and Cesia."
"What are you going to do to Cesia?" demanded Zoma protectively.
"It won't hurt," Kai-Stern assured him. He only made the boy more suspicious. Fiji began to nervously chomp on her nails.
The pyros and Gil however merely traded glances before saying simultaneously, "We're in."
-
Ruwalk was sitting in the deserted theater lobby enjoying the rare moment of peace and quiet. He leaned back in his chair and took the phone number of the nice lady from Dairy Queen out of his front pocket just to make sure it was still there before replacing it with a contented sigh.
Could life get any better than this? He wondered to himself.
But, as all you readers know, things never get better for Ruwalk. They only get worse. And he still had a long, long way to go past rock bottom.
Ruwalk jumped as he heard a door slam and Alfeegi and Miss Chibi entered the lobby. He began to shiver slightly.
"Ruwalk!" snapped Alfeegi suddenly spotting the perpetually frightened brunette.
"Y-yes?" Ruwalk stuttered.
"I need your help with something," Alfeegi said. Ruwalk knew saying 'no' wasn't an option.
"What?" asked Ruwalk, crossing his fingers and hoping it wasn't hard labor.
"Nanners and Mir have a plan," Chibi informed him.
And to think, only a moment ago Ruwalk thought he couldn't be scared any more than he all ready was...
-
Mir skipped through the theater searching out the last few people who had not been recruited to their cause. She had all ready tried looking for Fried Sushi but was informed by Flames that he had taken the day of to visit a spa to calm his fragile nerves.
Mir had a brief mental image of Fried Sushi in a hot tub wearing a Speedo. She shivered. Things like that should be illegal...
Finally she entered the scene shop and found the rest of the theater crew (Minus Garfakcy who was home sick and Nadil who had been turned into the maid in Garfakcy's absence. He sucked at the job but no one cared since it kept him out of the way). Rune was sitting with his arm over Tintlet's shoulder as the couple talked to Nohiro who had recovered from his latest stage accident just last night. Teeny was asking Kharl to autograph any scrap of paper she could find and the man happily obliged. Whenever his hand cramped up he would hum and stare off into the distance as Teeny watched him with a look of devotion that bordered on insanity. Bierrez was playing his Game Boy Advance SP.
"Hello everyone!" Mir greeted them. She glanced over to see what game Bierrez was playing but he quickly snapped the Game Boy shut and shoved it into his back pocket. He was not fast enough to keep Mir with her sharp journalist eyes to read the game's title: Polly Pocket Super Splash Island. Mir smirked and filed that away for future use.
"Hello Mir!" said Nohiro, "Look my arm healed faster this time."
"It must be used to being broken by now," she responded, "Congratulations!" Nohiro smiled unsure if she was congratulating him on his arm healing in time for opening night or for the extraordinary number of times he had managed to break or fracture it in some way or other.
Tintlet also gave her a big smile and Kharl greeted her cordially. Teeny however shot Mir a venomous glare after she shook hands with Kharl. Bierrez muttered a "hey".
"So what are you up to?" asked Rune distrustfully.
Mir skipped around a little bit, ignoring the girly man's tone before responding, "Oh just a little something to help out a friend!" she informed them with a big smile. A second later the smile faded into a thoughtful frown as she added, "Or scar him for life. Either way."
Rune and Tintlet sweatdropped but Kharl said, "Ooooh! Sounds like fun!"
"Really? Do you mean that?" Teeny asked Kharl, "Because I think so too Lord Kharl!"
"Lord Kharl..." said Kharl thoughtfully as he stared off into the distance once again, "I like the sound of that..."
Teeny is so not good for his ego... thought Mir before she turned to Bierrez. "This might be a little hard for you to hear..."
-
The anguished cry of "Why Cesia? Why!" reverberated throughout the theater.
Ruwalk jumped.
"Did something just die?" asked Chaos.
"Something might be about to die," Kai-Stern responded.
"Sounds like Bierrez knows," muttered Nanners.
-
Was that Bierrez's voice? thought Cesia, her mind briefly distracted from Rath's repeated, "Cesia...umm...there's something I have to say...umm..."
Would he just get on with it? thought Cesia rather annoyed at this point.
Rath finally looked up and said, "I lov-"
"Oh, I'm so sorry...Was I interrupting something?"
Cesia and Rath turned to see Gil standing in the doorway with the ever-present Fiji clinging to his pants leg.
"Umm..." said Cesia honestly, "I'm really not sure. What's wrong?"
"Oh nothing important," Gil said a smirk tugging at his lips, "I'll just come back later. C'mon Fiji,"
"But Gil," Fiji protested with a little girl's concern as Gil lead her away, "Will Rath be okay? His face looks so red..."
Rath slammed the door shut, even more red if that was possible. Cesia raised an eyebrow. Why was Rath being so touchy all of a sudden.
"What were you going to say before Gil came in?" she asked after a long few minutes of silence. Rath turned away from the door and opened his mouth to say something.
"Cesia!" screamed Lim Kaana as she slammed the door open knocking Rath over, "Have you seen that little twerp Zoma? He needs another fitting! Oh, I'm sorry. Are we interrupting something?"
Fedelta was inwardly impressed by her acting but remained his usual cool self as he leaned against the door frame. "What are you doing on the floor?" he asked Rath. Rath shot him a glare that clearly said, BURN IN THE FIRES OF HELL! Fedelta shot him an apathetic glance that clearly said, Gladly. I like fire.
"Well you see Rath was just trying to tell me something before you guys came in," said Cesia still puzzled. Her woman's intuition really wasn't working that well today.
Lim glanced from Rath to Cesia and back again before saying with a gasp, "Oh! I think I know!"
"What do you mean think?" scowled Fedelta, obviously not thinking himself, "We kn-" He was cut off as Lim kicked him in the shin with her standard, "YOU ARE SUCH A JERK FEDELTA!"
The two went off arguing down the hall as Rath thought darkly, Well at least they kicked themselves out...
"Rath, can you tell me what you want to say now?" Cesia asked keeping her annoyance at bay. Barely.
"Well you see," said Rath who was getting just as annoyed though with less control, "I really lik-"
"Hello Cesia! My dear Rath! What are you two doing inside on this fine day?" asked Kharl as he grandly swept into the room, Teeny clamped onto his arm.
"We were talking," said Rath through gritted teeth, "About something important."
"Ooh! Like what?" asked Kharl giddily, "World hunger?"
"Global warming?" asked Teeny.
"The impact of advertising and commercialism on today's youth?" Rath and Cesia were a little bit taken aback by Kharl's large vocabulary.
"The striking resemblance between George W. Bush and a monkey?" Teeny was obviously not a Republican.
"Who J. Lo is dating this week? Though I still can't believe she dumped Ben," Kharl shook his head in disbelief and disapproval.
"Where to find good cheese?" Teeny guessed.
"Why Bierrez plays Mary-Kate and Ashley Magical Mystery Mall?" Rath almost choked when Kharl said that.
"Abortion?" Teeny threw a look at Cesia's stomach that made the other girl uncomfortable.
"How hard it is to find good foundation these days?" Somehow it wasn't surprising that Kharl considered makeup important.
"Lord Kharl?" asked Teeny.
"Lord Kharl?" repeated both Rath and Cesia.
Kharl preened, yes preened. "It's what Teeny here calls me. Doesn't it fit?"
"Not really," said Rath darkly.
"What was that?" Teeny asked in a chilling voice that froze Rath to his very core. Kharl sensed danger, or maybe he was just offended.
"Come Teeny," he sniffed, "Let's go where our genius is truly appreciated." And with that he swept his follower out of the door and down the hall.
"I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE RATH!" she screamed back as she was dragged down the hallway, "AND I'LL FIND YOUR ADDRESS CESIA!"
"Well that was creepy," said Cesia almost forgetting that Rath had been trying to tell her something.
"Cesia," he said, "I would never let her hurt you."
Cesia waved away his concern, "It's okay. She'll probably forget by tomorrow. You know how she is."
"Well yeah," Rath admitted. Teeny was scatterbrained. It couldn't be denied. "But still, I lo-"
"Rathy! Where are you?" called Thatz's voice somewhere down the hallway.
"Dammit!" said Rath banging his head against the wall.
Kai-Stern and Thatz appeared as if by magic in the empty doorway. Kai-Stern looked from Rath to Cesia and back. "I'm sorry," he said, "Were we interrupting something?"
"YES!" said Rath.
"Oh well..." said Thatz.
"Thatz I'll buy you pizza every night for a week if you leave right now," said Cesia who was getting desperate to know what Rath wanted to say to her.
Thatz's mouth watered and his stomach gurgled happily in anticipation. To him it was pure ecstasy, to those watching it was slightly disgusting. "Deal," he said and ran off down the hallway.
Cesia turned to Kai-Stern. "And I'll treat you at happy hour tonight," she promised the albino.
"No fair," he pouted, "Thatz got a week."
"Fine," said Cesia, "I'll treat you for a week. But if I get hit on by some fat guy named Bob it's coming out of your booze."
Kai-Stern grinned, "I'll make sure to tell Bob to be on his best behavior." He turned as if he was going to leave but then rested his hands on Cesia's shoulders and said. "Be nice to Rathy. He may be dark, depressing, morbid, childishly violent, suicidal, homicidal, and prickly but he's a nice boy inside so..."
"Kai-Stern," growled Rath.
"I'll be going now," he said closing the door behind him as he gave Rath an infuriating wink.
"Finally they're gone!" exclaimed Cesia, "Now what were you trying to tell me?"
Rath turned beet red. He took a deep breath and said in a rush, "cesiailoveyousopleasegooutwithme"
"Sorry, didn't quite catch that," said Cesia.
"I said that I-"
A feminine giggle interrupted Rath. "Oh my! I'm terribly sorry! We didn't mean to interrupt anything!"
"You and everybody else," muttered Rath through gritted teeth as he and Cesia turned to see Rune and Tintlet standing in the doorway. They were looking as beautiful and blindingly blonde as ever.
"Did I ever tell you how much I love you?" Rune asked as he looked into Tintlet's pretty blue eyes. It was supposed to be part of the act to get Rath upset but, being the sappy fool he was, he forgot about that as he said those words.
"Everyday," giggled Tintlet as she gazed back at him turning equally sappy.
"I like you and all Rune but dump her and I'll kill you," growled a familiar voice, "Remember Nohiro after the Silk incident."
"Oh h-hello Miss Ch-Chibi," stuttered Tintlet.
"How about you two?" Miss Chibi said turning her icy glare on Rath and Cesia, "Need I tell a story about a certain sobbing Nazi?"
"Really boss! Don't be so rude!" Flames exclaimed as she ran up beside Miss Chibi, "Did we interrupt anything?" she asked Rath and Cesia innocently.
Rath merely glared.
"Uh Miss Chibi, you speak glare. What's he saying?" Flames asked nervously.
"Yes," translated Miss Chibi, not moving an inch.
"Well then we'd better go," said Rune.
"Umm...have fun," said Tintlet.
"Fun?" asked Cesia as she raised her eyebrow while Rune shooed the crowd away and down the hall.
Rath was beginning to get paranoid. Usually nobody bothered him...well that's not true...everyone seemed to bother everyone in this place. But it was generally more of a steady annoyance.
"Rath?" asked Cesia. She was getting worried. He was starting to look like one of those people who claimed they had been abducted by aliens.
"No...can't talk yet...they're going to lull me into a false sense of security...I just know it..." he said, his eyes darting around.
Cesia sighed, "No, they're not. Stop being silly. No one's planning to interrupt you. Things are just very busy right now what with opening night coming up. That's all."
Rath smiled, "You're so sensible. It's one of the reasons I-"
"I'm sorry!" exclaimed a voice from the doorway, "Are we interrupting something?"
Rath turned slowly to see Nanners standing in the doorway with her hand gripping a glaring Zoma's shoulder.
"You better not defile her," Zoma said darkly, "If she ends up pregnant I'll get Chaos to burn your house down!"
"He lives in an apartment," Nanners informed the boy.
"I'll get Chaos to burn your apartment down," Zoma corrected himself. Rath could feel a headache coming on and Cesia was blushing furiously.
"Zoma!" she snapped, "We are not going to have a baby! People have to love each other and get married before they do that!"
"In an ideal world, yes," said Nanners but was cut off by a glare from Cesia, "Right not for children's ears. Are you feeling all right Rath? Your face is turning a unique shade of red. Are you sure you don't have a fever? Or were you experimenting with Lim Kaana's makeup again..."
Rath was desperate to get rid of his gossipy boss before she could tell Cesia the story about the time when he had accidentally taken a sip out of Kai-Stern's flask and in a fit of drunkenness put on outrageous amounts of Lim Kaana's makeup, then one of the dresses from Les Miserables before hitting on Thatz and then Garfakcy.
"Look! Flying Coca-Cola products!" he shouted.
"Where?" asked Zoma turning his head.
"That is so lame," said Nanners as he slammed the door in their faces.
"Fine! Be that way! Now I won't get you that blind date with Garfakcy!" she shouted before she ran down the hall so she could laugh her ass off.
"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP ABOUT THAT?" he screamed.
Cesia was puzzled. "You like Garfakcy?" she asked, "Sorry, Rath. I didn't know you swung that way. Is that what you were trying to tell me? But still, isn't he a bit short and...I don't know...grungy for you?"
Rath stared at her in horror before trying to assert his hetorosexuality, "No! Cesia I'm not gay! I like-"
But Rath was cut off once again when someone knocked once on the door before opening it. There stood Bierrez, his face tear-stained and blotchy. Nohiro stood beside him looking sympathetic.
"O-oh...I'm s-sorry," stuttered Bierrez. He blew his nose into a crumpled handkerchief before continuing, "Are w-we in-interrupting...something..." his voice broke in a sob and he began crying again.
Rath and Cesia stared in shock, puzzlement, and horror.
"I'm sorry," Nohiro apologized, "We'll just be going now. He's been through a lot today with that." Nohiro guided the crying Bierrez down the hall patting him on the back.
"Why Cesia? Why?" wailed Bierrez before the two passed out of earshot.
So that was Bierrez earlier... thought Cesia. But why is he so upset? Did his pet hamster die? Poor Little Cesia...(author note: Bierrez named his hamster Little Cesia, just to clarify that...)
Rath began to chuckle. Then laugh maniacally. So what if Cesia thought he was gay? He would clear that up in no time! What mattered now was that he had finally beat Bierrez?
"Sorry. Are we interrupting something?" asked a familiar voice.
Rath and Cesia spun to see Chaos and Kitchel staring at Rath as if he'd grown an extra head.
"Yeah. Are you all right Rath?" asked Kitchel.
"Would you like one of my special shots?" asked Chaos with a manic grin of her own.
"That'll only make it worse," said Kitchel, "Remember what happened to Rune? Besides his tolerance level sucks."
"Yeah," agreed Chaos, "Barney the Dinosaur is a better drinker."
"And you know that how?" asked Kitchel.
"It's a funny story actually," began Chaos but she was cut off by Cesia who came up and put her arms around the two girls shoulders.
"I'm afraid this is a bad time girls," she said in a low voice though Rath could still hear her, "Rath just came out of the closet and as you can see he's having a hard time with it. Maybe you should just let me talk to him for a bit."
"Wait, wait, wait," said Kitchel, "Do you mean that Rath is gay?"
Cesia nodded solemnly, "Yes. For Garfakcy."
Both Chaos and Kitchel looked as if Christmas had just come early.
"DON'T LISTEN TO HER!" shouted Rath pushing Chaos and Kitchel out the door. They were both laughing too hard to resist.
He shut the door behind them breathing heavilly.
"Rath," Cesia scolded, "You should be honest with yourself. Denying what you are won't help."
"BUT I'M REALLY NOT GAY!" he yelled grabbing Cesia by the shoulders.
"But Nanners said," Cesia began.
"Nanners says a lot of things," Rath cut her off, "She was joking about a time when I got a little too drunk that's all."
"So drunk you thought Garfakcy was a woman?" Cesia asked.
Rath nodded. "Besides, it's impossible for me to be gay because I'm-"
Rath was interrupted again as Ruwalk opened the door and spoke that fateful phrase that Rath would hate from the deepest depths of his soul for the rest of his life, "I'm sorry. Did we interrupt something?"
Rath began to fume. Cesia could see the steam coming out of his ears.
Alfeegi observed the situation before saying, "You two should lock the door if you're going to do something inappropriate. We do have children running around you know."
Those were the words that sent Rath over the edge.
"THAT'S IT!" he yelled, "I AM KILLING THE NEXT PERSON THAT COMES IN HERE!"
He slammed the door so hard that Alfeegi and Ruwalk were pushed against the wall across the hallway. Ruwalk was shellshocked for a second before he whimpered and ran down the hallway. He was going to go home and never come out from under his covers again!
Alfeegi merely muttered, "My duty to the curtain is done." He then straightened his clothing and went to make sure the other techies made good on their promise.
As the two left Nadil came down the hall whistling dragging a cart of cleaning supplies behind him. He hadn't cleaned any of the dressing rooms yet but after he did he would be done for the day and he couldn't wait.
Meanwhile inside Cesia's dressing room, Rath began to talk again. This time without muttering or stumbling over his words to make sure he got it all out.
"Okay," he said, "I'm going to say this before anyone else can barge in. Cesia, I love-"
"Oh I'm sorry," said Nadil innocently from the doorway, "Did I interrupt something!"
"YOU'RE DEAD!" screamed Rath.
Nadil ran he could see the need to kill glowing in Rath's blood red eyes.
Cesia was shellshocked before she too began chasing after Rath and Nadil, "Hey Rath! You never finished what you were going to say!"
Those words only spurred Rath on.
Meanwhile the techies were all laughing their assess off as they straightened the curtain so it was perfectly level.
"Oh, Nanners," said Miss Chibi remembering something from earlier that day.
"Hmm? What is it?" asked Nanners.
"Do you use lemon or orange scented cleaner in the office?"
"Oh we use..."
-
Hahahaha! That's where I will end this chapter. Poor, poor Nadil. He was the only one who was actually innocent the entire time. This chapter was really fun to write and I want to know if it was fun to read so review please!
P.S. I'm sorry for how long it took me to post this! Please forgive me! I'm also sorry to any Republicans who resented the George Bush comment but what can I say? I am who I am.
